To Start, On Which Streets Will You Find Yellow Lines?<\/strong><\/h2>\nBefore we talk about some of the specific yellow road lines that you’ll find on different streets throughout the country, it’s important for you to know what kind of street you’ll be on if you spot these road markings. They’re obviously not found on all types of streets.<\/p>\n

Yellow road lines are primarily used on two-way streets and run right down the center of the road more often than not. There are some instances in which you’ll find them running along the side of a road (more on that towards the end). But for the most part, they’ll be in the middle of the street and are meant to divide the two separate lanes of traffic traveling in opposite directions.<\/p>\n
Yellow road lines are in place to\u00a0alert drivers on two-way streets\u00a0as to when they can pass\u00a0people in front of them and when they need to stay put. You’ll\u00a0want to keep a close eye on these lines when you’re driving down a street with them and keep them to the left of you unless you’re passing someone. You’ll also\u00a0want to look out for changes in yellow road lines and abide by what they’re telling you.<\/p>\n
Single Broken Yellow Line<\/strong><\/h2>\nWhen there is a single broken yellow line running down the middle of a street, this is a best-case scenario for drivers on both sides of the road when it comes to passing other drivers. This yellow line means that\u00a0people are free to pass other\u00a0people if they wish to do it.<\/p>\n
If there is a single broken yellow line in the center of a two-way street and you want to try and pass someone, you should look on the other side of the street to make sure no cars are coming in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
As long as the coast is clear, you should then put your left turn signal before crossing the line on to let others know you’re pulling onto the other side of the road before moving over into the left lane, passing the car in front of you, and returning to the right lane.<\/p>\n
It’s very important for you to leave yourself more than enough time\u00a0to make this maneuver. You should not attempt to pass someone if you see another car coming quickly in your direction in the other lane. You could end up\u00a0causing a head-on collision<\/a>\u00a0if you do this.<\/p>\nDouble Solid Yellow Lines<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf you’re someone who spends a lot of time passing other drivers out on the road, you’re going to love the sight of broken yellow lines. They’ll allow you to pass\u00a0other drivers whenever you get stuck behind someone who is driving too slow.<\/p>\n
Double solid yellow lines, on the other hand, are going to be your arch nemesis. They’re going to let you know that you’re not allowed to pass other drivers under any circumstances.<\/p>\n
In fact, they’re going to let drivers on both your side of the road and the other side of the road know that passing is not permitted. You’ll usually find double yellow lines in areas where there\u00a0are a lot of curves in the road that could make it unsafe for people to try and pass one another.<\/p>\n
If you see a double yellow line that is solid on both sides, stay put for the time being. You don’t want to put yourself or others into danger by trying to pass someone in this situation.<\/p>\n
